I just finished reading an e-copy. Who has read it? What are your thoughts? What did you learn? I strangely found it interesting... it doesn't have the whole signature Toke on it; It has depth especially the chapter she is talking about accepting her own wrongs and apologizing. |

I haven't read it yet. Since you have, maybe you could share what you've learned.  |

NotOfThis: Welcome and congrats on FTC  Summary: She had low self esteem/ inability to form relationships because she lost her parents in a fire when she was 8. She clung to her ex desperately despite all because she didn't want to go through the motions of loss again. Her husband is a cheating romantic gentleman who was always sweet talking her back due to.....(fill in the gap) His family warned her against him however, she obviously didn't listen She knew about Anita all along and looking back, her ex seemed more into Anita... why he didn't/ hasn't married her, I don't know. She also used to sponsor Anita 's trips sometimes Anita was/is fine with side main chick status and Maje doesn't /didn't want kids with Toke In retrospect, Toke was not healthy enough to have a relationship. She also said she didn't care for him like cooking et al. God prepared her for the 'fire' before news of Anita's pregnancy broke. She & Maje were seeing a therapist after their separation towards reconciliation however, efforts proved abortive and she went ahead with the divorce. She is working towards 'becoming'. I must admit it's not 'Tokelike' Someone else help me out.... 6 Likes 1 Share |

bukatyne:Thanks for the excellent review, Bukatyne. These are very good lessons. Seems like one can learn a lot from the book. |

I don't know if its just me but I find it boring reading about people's private life in a novel. Maybe because I'm always occupied doing better things. 3 Likes |

I just finished reading it yesterday. I found it interesting, I felt for her a lot of times while reading, I even cried where she lost her parents. I love d fact that she was humble enough to accept her mistakes and apologize. She is indeed a strong lady 1 Like |

Catalin: Not really maybe its because its nothing really special that stands out. I'd find it boring too but reading about someone who survived a war or was in prison now that's different. I don't find toke intriguing or worthy enough to read about her life. |

MurderX: It isn't criminal to share. Is it also criminal to lend a friend a book to read? Nonsense. |

I honestly don't understand the fuss about this woman n her story n I'll b d last to have interest in reading d book. I mean from all d gist about it, it reeks of low self-esteem, ignorance, confusion, indecision, self-disrespect n stupidity from her part. Maybe because I hate these features a lot. I think the whole problem is that she is not a self lover n probably never experienced love from childhood hence d whole drama. 1 Like |
